Inflamed throat

It's not surprising why I'm sick now. Over the past few days, the paucity of rest coupled with the influx of unhealthy food probably formed the foundation factor of how did it happen. As a triggering factor, I played tennis in the rain yesterday. Sadly, I am a person that falls sick upon contact with rain, regardless of whether it was a shower, or a storm. Either way, the magnitude of the rain solely affects the probability of falling ill.

It might sound like a good excuse, a neatly crafted subterfuge. After all, I was on holidays from Wednesday from Monday and probably it might seem like I don't want this consecutive spree to come to an end. Seriously, I would gladly not to go school, even if I must endure the hardships of having a severely inflamed throat.

Either way, my condition when I went to bed was perfect. I had no signs of a sore throat, neither did I have muscle cramps or whatever tell-tale signs of a cold coming up. I slept, slept, and abruptly I awoke at about 0200 hrs in cold sweat. My throat was burning, I felt impaled at my throat constantly, and the phlegm did work well with that sore lump in my throat. Each time there is influx of phlegm, I shivered in pain. Such a horrible night. My stomach was feeling weak, I wonder why, as if there was an excess of air in it. It was a bloated sensation and my limps went weak. Though I was certain I had no fever, my throat was a deterrence to proper rest.

I decided not go to school when I woke up with an augmented pain in my throat. I add some medicine, and doused my throat with a plethora of water. Nothing did help much, I slept in again. I was abed till 1100 hrs where I finally decided that rest was not going to heal the wound in my throat. It is after all, condign punishment for someone who could not say no to tennis when it was quite evidently raining. A consequence of sleeping late, having not enough rest.

Right now, I only occasionally get buffeted by pulses of pain from my throat. Not that I like it, but somehow it feels like it's all worth it. And yes, just not to go to school! not that I dislike to go to school, but what can beat another day of rest! Somehow, my mood is cheerful and jovial.

Should I be feeling guilty or something? Or am I just being optimistic in every single unfavorable situation.
